The total cost of completing your application for residence is dependent upon the difficulties that arise while the application is being processed, and what further work is required to be done.

PPI SUBMISSIONS

If we are required to provide submissions to Immigration New Zealand in regard to possible prejudicial information then the amount charged will depend on the nature and number of issues raised.

The cost of our fee for preparation and drafting submissions in response to PPI raised by Immigration New Zealand is on average between $600 to $1000 plus GST and disbursements depending on our time spent.  A deposit of $600 is required for PPI Submissions prior to work being done.
